Built for Miss Jessie MacDonald circa 1905.
An extremely rare opportunity to own one of the original homes in 'Olde Eagle Heights'.
'Tudor Cottage' is a Weatherboard Cottage with Rose Mahogany panelling overlooking with its own Work-shop/Artist Retreat.
The Cottage was built at the turn of the 20th Century as the 'Maid's Quarters' for wealthy spinster Miss Jessie MacDonald whose home was immediately next door. It originally housed a husband & wife team who looked after her cooking, cleaning, yard work and chauffeuring.
The rest of the house was built of identical materials as used in Jessie's home: locally sawed hardwood weatherboards on the outside with one inch thick (approx. 25 cm) rose mahogany panels internally.
Discussions with the Tamborine Mountain Historical Society indicate that Miss MacDonald owned all the land on the north side of Wongawallan Road, and that she later built all the houses right down to the corner. In fact, the original 'Olde Eagle Heights' effectively started right here!
Jessie loved living near - and listening to - what she termed as her 'bush orchestra': so much so that in 1933 she donated a huge chunk of her property to the people of Queens-land to become one of our State's first National Park areas.
Tudor Cottage comes complete with its own work shed/artist retreat built into what was the original 5,000 gallon tank-stand. It also has its own water bore.
The vendor has owned the cottage since 1986 and personally restored all the internal panelling, and commissioned the construction of the current garage and the work-shop/artist retreat.
The property has been rented by the one tenant for the past 18 years, and thus there are a number of maintenance issues that need to be addressed. In advance of putting Tudor Cottage on the market, a Building & Pest Report was commissioned and indicative quotes obtained, which are available to interested parties.
This allows you, as the new owner, to put your own 'personal stamp' on this amazing piece of Tamborine Mountains history.
Beauty, charm, cuteness: 'Tudor Cottage' boasts all this - and offers an extremely rare chance to secure your own special piece of Tamborine Mountain paradise, set in the truest part of 'Olde Eagle Heights' overlooking MacDonald National Park.
Heaven On Earth for those who love the Mountains lifestyle!
